Flack goes back-to-back at County Am
ROCKTON — Kevin Flack got the cushion he needed with a strong round Saturday.
On Sunday, all it took was "a smooth day, nothing huge but nothing real bad, either," Flack said, and that's just what he got. Flack earned his second straight Winnebago County Amateur golf championship at Macktown Golf Course on Sunday, holding off all charges with ease.
"Out here it's a little different — anybody can get hot and fire a 65 on the right day," Flack said. "But I just stuck to my game. It wasn't a great round, just a smooth one."
Flack was playing the front nine even until posting birdies on No. 7 and 8 with solid approach shots. While several of the contenders had hot streaks throughout the rest of the day, no one got to within two of the wire-to-wire leader. Flack finished 7-under (66-69—135) and won the title by five strokes.
He wasn't happy with his play at a U.S. Amateur qualifier last week, but the former Rockford Lutheran and Eastern Illinois University star is hoping this weekend's run to the County Am title will turn things around for him.
"This tournament got me going again," Flack said. "My game is starting to feel good again, and I'm excited for what's coming up."
After next weekend's Aldeen Cup, Flack will be gunning for his first Rockford Men's City title in his seventh appearance.
Matt Marinaro, who took third in the County Am with the best round of Sunday (68), is one of several locals who will take part in the State Amateur in Wheaton on Tuesday through Thursday.
"I was just trying to get some momentum going into that one," said Marinaro, who birdied his first two holes of the day to get his strong round rolling. "(Saturday) I blew a few shots, and I knew it. But today, even though I left a couple out there, I got it going again."
Flack entered the final round three strokes up on Pat Tolliver and Chris Beto. While Flack cruised in, Jeff Holmgaard (70-70—140) drained a late birdie putt to move into second, Pat Tolliver (69-72—141) claimed third and Ken Lee (71-71—142) and Marinaro (74-68—142) tied for fourth.
Brian Silvers (77-67—144) won the A Flight and Tim Hopper (69-75—144) won the Senior Division.

As we forge ahead into a new year, we carry with us the lessons of 2012.
There were more reminders of the sad fragility of life, but also more evidence of the power of one voice demanding justice. We saw the evil in mankind and those who bravely risked everything in the name of humanity and freedom.
Anderson Cooper traveled the country and the world seeking the truth and meeting the people whose lives took a dramatic turn this year. He also honored the legacy of icons and heroes who passed away. Among them, we said goodbye to entertainers Dick Clark and Whitney Houston, and remarkable journalists Marie Colvin and Anthony Shadid.
The most extraordinary heroes were those who never expected recognition. Like the nurse who managed to keep a baby safe while the tiny patient was transferred to a different hospital's NICU because of a power failure during Superstorm Sandy. The New Yorker who single-handedly rescued a taxi driver about to drown as the flood waters enveloped his car. The teen who faced gunfire to try to rescue a woman, a stranger to him, shot by a sniper in Syria. And the teacher who acted quickly and sacrificed her own life to save elementary school students in Newtown, Connecticut.
Like Anderson does every year, he made it his mission to hold politicians accountable – and there was a lot of opportunity this campaign season. Former elected officials were on the agenda too, like Gov. Haley Barbour who pardoned convicts before leaving office. With Drew Griffin's deft investigative reporting, we went after charities that misled donors by collecting millions of dollars and not spending it where expected.
The legal cases that caught everyone's attention in 2012 were fascinating and divisive. Dharun Ravi, Jerry Sandusky, and George Zimmerman became household names. In some cases, justice was served and others remain unresolved. We'll continue to monitor the baby Veronica custody battle and the other ongoing legal battles.
If you watched in 2012, we thank you (a lot). If you tweeted or posted your views about AC360's stories and interviews, we read it and want to hear more from you in 2013. You can find us @AndersonCooper @AC360 and on Facebook and Google+.

Today's News: Our Take - Top Moments: A Following Kind of Valentine, Jeopardy's Best Loser and a New Watergate
Our top moments of the week:
13. Ding Dong! The Witch Is Dead Award: Tierra's tantrums finally get the best of her on The Bachelor. After having a falling out with AshLee, Tierra screams and cries just as Sean is coming in to talk to her. Finally, he does what we've all been waiting for: kick the crazy girl out of the house.
12. Most Dramatic Wake-Up Call: When Nashville'sJuliette learns that her longtime manager is trying to put the kibosh on some of her new, more experimental tour plans behind her back, Juliette doesn't hesitate to take swift action. In the middle of the night, she bangs on her crew's hotel doors and - very maturely - tells them that she's the boss and to listen to her and not her manager. Her manager, Glenn, then promptly quits and slams the door. Hey, no one ever said being the boss was easy.
11. Most Heartwarming Fake-Out: Sheila Shay gets her apron in a serious twist on Suburgatory when she sees her mom getting too close with her husband. She soon realizes that this is exactly why Lisa broke up with Malik and works with Malik to stage an elaborate fake fight in front of Lisa so that she will take him back. Let's just hope he doesn't have to fake-hate her chicken salad sandwich because, let's be honest, Malik's poker face isn't that good.
10. Best Character Development: Victoria has always been manipulative, but until this week's Revenge,we never thought she was murderous. After Initiative leader Helen threatens Daniel, Victoria proves that she's more than just talk when it comes to her evil schemes. "I hardly think you have it in you to kill a person in cold blood," Helen says, facing down the barrel of Victoria's gun. But Helen is dead wrong - literally. We wonder how the former mama's boy is going to react when he arrives at the scene of the crime. Good riddance to Helen though! If only she could take the entire Initiative with her.
9. Worst He Said, She Said: After Ann shoots her ex-husband Harris in the chest on last week's Dallas, it looked like the baby-nabbing scoundrel was dead, right? Wrong! He's in a coma, and when he wakes up, he makes things much more complicated by fingering Bobby for the shooting, just as Ann is confessing to the police to protect Bobby, who had previously confessed and recanted. And we thought "Who shot J.R.?" was a complicated question...
8. Sweetest Valentine: What do you get Amy Farrah Fowler for Valentine's Day? On The Big Bang Theory, Sheldon gets her, well, commitment. He gives her a document from his CalTech employee file. "In case of emergency, please contact Amy Farrah Fowler," she reads. "And there's my phone number. This is the most beautiful gift you could've ever given me." "Well, I thought," Sheldon replies, "if I have a stroke or a kidney stone, who would I want to share that with?" Aw/ew!
7. Most Suspicious Beau: For a moment, we too were seduced the sexy chemistry between Olivia Pope and Jake Ballard (Scott Foley), which we hoped would help her move on from her Scandal-ous affair with the president. But alas, it turns out that Ballard's comment about being a "people-watcher" is literal, as we see him staring at a bank of surveillance cameras planted in... Olivia's apartment! Creepy!
6. Sweetest Reunion: When Bones' Dr. Brennan is shot (with a frozen blood bullet!), she has a waking dream of sorts that transports her back to her childhood home where she chats with her long-dead mother. In addition to getting some closure on her mom's death, she also begins to see the shortcomings of her hyper-rational way of viewing the world. Now that she's had her epiphany, will she finally let her guard down?
5. Most Unexpected Proposal: As Justified's Ava wrestles with her and Boyd's decision to have Ellen May killed, she needs some reassurance from Boyd about the endgame. Fortunately, he's up to the task: He takes her out to a quiet place, and presents her with a pile of cash - a down payment on their future home when their criminal days are done. Oh, and under the pile of cash is a diamond ring! We can't wait to see a proper Harlan County wedding!
4. What Is the Most Awesome Answer? Award: Never has a wrong answer been so right and so awesome. On the second and final day of Teen Jeopardy!, 17-year-old Leonard Cooper, of Little Rock, Ark., makes a huge comeback - thanks to a "gutsy," as Alex Trebek calls it, move to bet $18,000 of his $18,200 on a Daily Double that he gets correct - and schools us all with his Final Jeopardy answer. The clue: "On June 6, 1944, he said, 'The eyes of the world are upon you.'" Leonard's guess: "Who is some guy in Normandy, but I just won $75,000!"(First place was guaranteed $75,000.) The hilarious answer even prompts a chuckle out of the usually stoic Trebek, but the best part? Had contestant Nilai answered correctly (it was Dwight D. Einsenhower), Leonard would've lost!
3. Saddest Heartbreak: Yes, The Vampire Diaries killed off Jeremy, but it's Caroline and Tyler's goodbye that wrecks us. With Klaus having no reason to keep Tyler alive, Caroline pleads with the Original to show him mercy. So when Klaus says that Tyler could get a head start and leave town, Caroline is forced to say her hysterical goodbye to her love again. Happy Valentine's Day to you too!
2. Worst Water Break: We really should've seen it coming. From the start of his GOP rebuttal to President Barack Obama's State of the Union address, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) is clearly plagued by a massive case of cottonmouth. Unable to bear it out, Rubio gives us the 21st century "watergate" and the stuff of GIF-makers' dreams when he awkwardly, desperately reaches far left for a water bottle and frantically darts his eyes back to the TelePrompTer mid-swig. Stealthy. At least he can laugh with us (and Poland Spring)?
1. Creepiest Valentine Throupling: Things take a turn for the steamy on The Following, with Emma, Paul and Jacob sharing a three-way shower after Emma learns Jacob's deep dark secret: that her boyfriend has never actually killed anyone. It remains to be seen whether Emma and Paul really have dismissed their prior issues as water under the bridge (or down the drain?), or whether Emma is using sex as a way to manipulate both Paul and Jacob. Though the actors say the scene is more emotional than sexual in nature, one thing's for sure - the scene is so creepy, it's left us feeling like we needed to take a shower. By ourselves!

Who will win the award for poetry on Wednesday?
By Janice Harayda
Publishing is an incestuous industry, rife with logrolling and cronyism. But this year's National Book Awards may have set a record for conflicts of interest or the appearance of them.
At least one fiction judge has had to recuse herself from some of the deliberations, and a nonfiction judge has reason to do so. And the poetry shortlist raises enough similar questions that I've scrapped my plan to tweet and re-post here micro-reviews of excerpts of its finalists, as I did for fiction and nonfiction. That plan grew out of a hypothesis: that if the judging was fair and the excerpts represented the overall quality of the books, you could predict the winner from them. But the sponsor of the National Book Awards has provided too little evidence that it has established the internal controls needed to keep cozy relationships among the poetry judges from undermining process of selecting a winner in that category.
So instead of reviewing poetry finalists, I'll just make the prediction I promised on Twitter: Carl Phillips's Double Shadow or Yussef Komunyakaa's The Chameleon Couch will win. Phillips, Komunyakaa and Adrienne Rich are the strongest finalists on the evidence of their excerpts. But Rich's work hasn't matched her Diving Into the Wreck, which won the 1974 National Book Award. And although judges in such situations are supposed to consider only the nominated book, an author's earlier work may affect the deliberations, anyway. To my mind, that makes Phillips or Komunyakaa the likely winner.
You can also follow Jan (@janiceharayda) on Twitter by clicking on the "Follow" button at right. She will predict the winner of the award for young people's literature tomorrow.

be exactly the same model. Mixing Gold, Platinum, and Platinum Plus certified
power supplies is not supported.
HP's Common Slot (CS) power supplies allow for commonality of power supplies
across a wide range of ProLiant and Integrity servers, as well as HP Storage
solutions, and are designed to provide the highest power supply efficiency
without degrading system performance. HP CS power supplies are tested
by the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) and certified through
the ECOS 80 Plus power supply program. HP CS power supply options provide
efficiency ratings of up to 94% (80 Plus Platinum) and are available in

HP Service Pack for ProLiant (SPP) and HP Smart Update Manager (HP SUM) provide
a comprehensive approach to firmware and system software maintenance. Together
they provide better operating stability and ensure maximum uptime. The SPP will
be updated at a predictable cadence, typically coinciding with new HP server hardware
launches. By enabling firmware to be updated online and integrating firmware and
system software updates in one operation, HP SUM and the SPP offer faster updates
of individual servers and dramatically faster updates of entire BladeSystem enclosures.
Further improving system uptime and stability is the fact that HP provides 12
months of support for each Service Pack for ProLiant release.
The user
experience around HP SUM and the SPP has been improved in several ways, starting
with the web download. A single web page provides access to a single download
containing both the latest version of HP SUM and the latest SPP. Optional smaller
subsets with only specific types of servers or specific operating systems are
offered to save on download time. The HP SUM application provides a straightforward,
intuitive user interface that guides the user through the steps of discovery,
analyses and update, providing comprehensive information on available updates,
criticality and interdependencies. This information is also available in reports.
By providing the option of multiple local or shared repositories which can be
easily updated from hp.com, HP SUM provides the tools to optimize stability and
consistency throughout the company. While HP SUM and the SPP recommend the combinations
of firmware and system software that HP has found to be the best practice, the
application gives customers the flexibility to set their own specific baseline.
The Service Pack for ProLiant has been rigorously tested with specific
attention for interaction between firmware, drivers and agents both within the
server as well as in interaction with the BladeSystem enclosure components (Onboard
Administrator and Virtual Connect). This testing ensures the highest quality as
well as providing the input for HP SUM to deploy updates taking into account all
interdepencies, when determining the correct updates and order of update deployment.
The Service Pack for ProLiant (which includes HP SUM) can be downloaded from www.hp.com/go/spp/download.
More information can be found: https://www.hp.com/go/SmartUpdate,
www.hp.com/go/spp and https://www.hp.com/go/hpsum
Optional Features
HP Insight Control includes one year of 24 x 7 HP Software Technical
Support and Update Service ensuring rapid access to HP support staff and
proactive delivery of software updates. For more information about this
service, see: https://www.hp.com/services/insight.
The HP Matrix Operating Environment (Matrix OE) for
ProLiant and Integrity servers is an integrated command center that helps
you instantly adjust to dynamic business demands. This advanced infrastructure
management software lets you reduce the cost of common data center tasks
by up to 40 percent while keeping pace with your changing business.
The HP Matrix OE includes the automated provisioning, optimization, and
recovery management capabilities for HP CloudSystem Matrix, the ideal
platform for private cloud and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS).
NOTE: For more information, visit: https://www.hp.com/go/matrixoe

Update 6:35pm CT: Local ABC TV affiliate KVUE reports that "multiple sources confirmed to KVUE News that [Tuesday's conference] will be to announce the City is getting Google Fiber high speed Internet."
Original story:
No one's sure where Google Fiber will arrive next, but the Internet is abuzz about a press conference on Tuesday, April 9 during which Google may announce that the service is headed to Austin, Texas.
According to VentureBeat, an invitation sent Friday described "a very important announcement that will have a positive impact on Austinites and the future of the city." VentureBeat adds that "multiple sources" confirmed that this "could involve" the launch of Google Fiber in the Texas capital.
Ars has reached out to Google for comment but did not receive an immediate reply.
Austin would be a logical choice, as it's already the home of the South by Southwest Festival and numerous tech companies, including Dell and AMD.
Back in 2010, the local government encouraged citizens to help lobby Google to bring a gigabit network to the area. Ultimately, Kansas City, Kansas was chosen as the first location—followed quickly by Kansas City, Missouri and surrounding areas.
For now, though, Google doesn't have any publicly listed related jobs outside of Kansas City, Mountain View (at Google's headquarters), or Waterloo, Ontario, Canada.
Here's the promo video that the City of Austin put together in 2010 to try to lure Google to Texas.

EGF is a software factory tool which enables to develop simple and complex generators. A workflow enables to orchestrate and execute different kind of tools (e.g., ATL for model-to-model transformations, Acceleo for model-to-text transformations) and code written in a language (e.g., Java, Ant, JRuby). EGF also includes a declarative formalism of pattern with the capability to develop customizable generations. The extensibility of EGF enables to support new tools or languages for orchestration, and to support new types of generation formalisms. All the generation elements are encapuslated in factory components. A coherent set of factory components defines a generation portfolio reusable and customizable in different project contexts. EGF is released with two demonstrative and operational generation portfolios. The first one enriches the EMF generation with new features: i) generation of new types of artefacts (e.g., JavaDoc, ecoretools diagrams), ii) customization of the EMF generation with patterns, iii) a generation DSL to easily configure an EMF generation. The second EGF portolfio is a DSL and generator for continuous integration in order to facilitate the definition of continuous integration chains and to target new integration continuous platforms while the continuous integration tools evolve.
In this release
EGF is part of an Eclipse Simultaneous Release for the second time. The different features provided by EGF v1.0.0, as part of Juno, are of three categories: the engine, extensions, and portfolios.
EGF Engine
The EGF Engine defines the core model of EGF (e.g., task, factory component, or pattern) and provides core behaviors of EGF (e.g., dynamic execution).
Engine Extensions
Support of languages (e.g., Java task, Ant task) and tools (e.g., Acceleo, ATL, JET), or any further extension, are engine extensions.
EGF Portfolio
A generation portfolio is a consistent set of factories with a generation objective, reusable and valuable for projects.
The EGF project provides two default generation portfolios:
- The first one is an enhancement of the EMF Generation which enables to customize the EMF generation.
- The second one is a build chain portfolio which enables to configure a build chain (with an EGF build editor) and to generate all the scripts for a build platform, i.e. Hudson and Buckminster/Jenkins today. The EGF build chains are realized with this portfolio.
Accordance with project plan themes and priorities
The priorities are the following:
- Improving the foundations of the EGF engine
- Providing two portfolios (i.e., enhancement of the EMF Generation, build chain portfolio) in order: 1) to provide a more substantial EGF component, 2) to provide the Eclipse community with valuable software factories, 3) examplify how to develop and use generation portfolios
See http://www.eclipse.org/projects/project-plan.php?projectid=modeling.emft.egf
Non-Code Aspects
The complete EGF documentation is available from the EGF Wiki page:
- Project's general information
- Documents and presentations
- Tutorials and use cases
- Download information
- Portfolio information
- Complementary resources and useful links
The EGF Javadoc is available here (from the Juno build).
The general architecture of EGF is: 1) the EGF Engine extended by Engine Extensions, 2) extended by a set of generation portfolios.
The "development & reuse process" below displays how portfolios can be iteratively combined to create new factories and extensions.
The "example of EGF Factory" below shows a factory component which combines invocations of heterogeneous languages (e.g., Java, Ant, Jython), tools (e.g., Jet, ATL), and factory component.
Testing & Packaging
EGF uses a Buckminster-based system to build and promote versions.
Each new build is tested at least with Eclipse 3.8 (Juno).
Core plugins are provided with dedicated test plugins checking their valid behavior.
EGF is integrated into the Juno Release Train since the M1 release.
EGF is also part of the Amalgamation Modeling Package for Juno.
No EGF component is deprecated so far.
EGF bugs can be found here on Bugzilla.
EGF does not implement any standard.
UI Usability
EGF intends to conform to the User Interface Guidelines.
EMFT EGF is a "+3" project in the simultaneous release
Schedule respected by EGF is the following:
- M6 03/19/2012 (API Freeze)
- M7 05/07/2012 (Feature Freeze)
- Juno 06/27/2012
EGF was presented at different conferences during 2011-2012:
Communication on PlanetEclipse is used for the EGF news.
EGF is identified as a component of the Polarsys IWG.
The two EGF portfolios was selected to attract the modeling community with the EMF Generation extension, and users from other communities with the Build portfolio.
The following table presents the EGF stats for 2011-2012.
IP Issues
The Eclipse IP Process has been strictly followed and all plugins contain the appropriate about.html and license files.
The EGF IP Log is available from http://www.eclipse.org/projects/ip_log.php?projectid=modeling.emft.egf EGF is released under the EPL licence.
EGF provides integration with languages and tools. Some of them are developed under the EPL licence (e.g., Acceleo, ATL) but others are incompatible with the EPL licence (e.g., Jython, JRuby). In order to manage this type of IP issue, EGF only provides integration with languages and tools respecting the EPL licence. For the other ones, a specific EclipseLabs project, the EGF portfolio project, was created to isolate and manage licence incompatibility.
After graduation, EGF has to move out from EMFT to EMF.

Hindus in France
Rayping each other at first glance
Looking for babies with delight
Wondering in the night
What were the chances
Of shoving candles in their genitals without exchanging glances
Hindus in the nighttttttt....
Doobie Doo Daaa Dooobie Daaa
Jennifer. Much to say.
Blah blah blah and more Blah blah blah.
"I hear babies cry...... I should have watched them grow
They should've learnt more.....than I would've ever know
I see raypes galore….I see blood flow
And I say to myself INDIA should never stoop so low
HINDOOS shall reap the poison they sow
And I think to myself .....what a miserable world
And I say to myself what a miserable world....what a miserable world.
And then I look around I see HINDOO raypists & their medieval suppressive ways
Their turbaned heads like a bail of hay
Wearing their loincloth so very gay
And in the neighborhood doom and oppressive frays.
Edie Lamar says Waaaaaa! Waaaaaa! India Waaaaa! Waaaaaa!
Waaaaa! Waaaaaa! I hear babies cry. India and Hindoos. Waaaaaa! Waaaaa! Waaaaaa
Hindo raypists Waaaa! Mommie! Waaaaaa! Waaaaaa Waaaaaa!
Oh little baby
Dont you cry
This hindoo Ubba is gonna raype ya alive
We live in India all the time
We gang raype most of time.
Hindoos. Waaaa! Waaaaaa! India Waaaaa! Waaaaaa!
Metal Rodding/Gang Raypes
Human Sacrifices to clay gods
Self immolation
Oh little baby
Dont you cry
This hindoo Ubba is gonna raype ya dry
We live in India on a dime
We gang raype most of time.
We dont think that is a crime.
Racism, primarily black against white and white against black, is the most destructive force in the USA today.
Racism is caused by neither Confederate flags nor watermelons.
Like a totem pole, the hinddoou world in India is ladder like and incremental, essentially defined by a caste system. You suppress the underprivileged and seek satisfaction from the pain and suffering you cause. It is nirvana and brings you closer to being in the good books of deities. Very much as taught by Mahabharata
Coupling the foregoing with prevailing conditions in Indian Occupied Kashmir and massacre in Gujarat personifies the centrifugal forces of terror that are permeating to the neighboring countries onto Middle East and onto EU and USA.
I was in Spain for a convention and was able to see Alhambra in Granada. What a beautiful place.
Indeed. Happy Ramazan!
Q: What did the hindu have in the morning?
A: LIGHT SNAKES for breakfast.
What a beautiful day to hold a plebiscite in Indian Occupied Kashmir!
Are the machines there yet, Modi?
The crying baby from Bombay ran away.
Waaaaa. Waaaaa. Waaaaa !!!
Busy doing his day job _____ tiffin box carrier.
Ukraine/Crimea reminds me of Indian Occupied Kashmir except that we are still waiting for India's government to hold a plebiscite there.
It took Putin a week to hold plebiscite in Crimea and Ukraine. Why is it taking India 70 years to hold plebiscite in Indian Occupied Kashmir? Putin is India's buddy. Rub your eyes! Why does not India import this technology from Russia? After all India is Russia's largest arms buyer !!!
The communist Soviets and their buddies India Hinddoos attacked and invaded Afghanistan and killed millions of people and millions were made homeless and refugees. Families devastated.
The whole country was destroyed. Mosques were bulldozed and Afghan women rayped.
After fierce fighting, Americans helped the Afghanis liberate their country and defeated Communist Soviets and their allies India. US provided military equipment support to defeat these communists.
These same hinddoos are now rayping Afghanistan again and stripping the country of its natural resources and minerals. Forests have been stripped and mined millions of acres of them. No compensation has been paid.
Moreover, them hinddoos are now smuggling drugs processed from poppy cultivation in Afghanistan to Europe and USA and making young kids in these countries drug addicts.
You have hit on something here. Indians are selling drugs from Afghanistan via Myanmar to EU and FarEast. Plus minerals are also being sold. Cash Flows being used by India to finance terror.
India is a diseased country and devouring our precious resources and not producing enough. On top of that you hindus are massacring minorities including Christians. We cannot accept that. Next week a million people march will be underway to protest genocide in Indian Occupied Kashmir.

The other day, when I found out that graduate student aid had been heavily hit by the budget deal struck by Congress, the only thing I could think to tweet as I shared a link on the topic was "you've let students down." The tweet came somewhat out of fear for my own financial future, but mostly for that of my fellow students. I am fortunate in that I have an assistantship and am pursuing a PhD (which can, potentially, open doors to new funding sources than I could access during my MLS, although I doubt people will be banging down my door and hurling money at me.) However, having just completed that degree, I remember what a struggle it was to track down funding outside of student loans and what a blessing subsidized loans and deferred payments were for me. It made it possible for me to go to school, and I suspect the same is true for many HLS readers. With that in mind, I thought I would devote my post to talking about the changes in student loans, the little bit of sense I can make of it, and how it might impact graduate education.
My Story:
Like nearly every MLS student I've talked to, I relied on the maximum amount of Federal loans I was eligible for to pay my tuition, fees, and living expenses. I also had a part time job driving buses, and for a while another job at a library. At a certain point, I was ill and unable to work, and relied solely on my loan money and on my EBT card (food stamps.) I don't know what I would have done without the loans! I owe a pretty penny now, but I got a great education and am on the path to doing some really awesome work in my PhD and beyond. Because I'm (mostly) done relying on student loans (save for a bit I'm taking out to settle in FL) the loss of subsidized loans won't impact me as much as it might impact others, in the sense that half the loans I have are subsidized already. That being said, once they start accruing interest that could hurt me in a pretty big way. But, before I have too severe of a panic attack about my potentially bleak financial future, let me go over the nuts and bolts of the proposed changes.
The Word on The Street (where 'The Street' is published news sources):
A word of warning: I am not an economist. So, as you read this, remember it's from a layman's perspective and thus may lack the nuanced understanding of economic policy held by those who interpret these things for a living. Here is what I understand to be going on:
Student loans will still exist, but the subsidized ones won't be available for grad students. Pell grants are still available to undergrads (which is good news for my partner, who's finishing up his AA at the moment!) So, what this means is that students will have to pay interest on the loans while they are in school, which means students will owe a larger amount of money (subsidized loans don't accrue interest while you're still in school.) Some of the incentives for paying on time will also be eliminated as well, which means that (again) students will have to pay more, because they won't get whatever reductions they are currently receiving.
These changes go into effect after this school year is finished (July 1, 2012, to be exact) and only impacts loans taken out after that time. So, if you currently have subsidized loans, those will stay subsidized, but your new loans for next school year will all begin accruing interest immediately. If you are receiving incentives for making payments on time, those would presumably end at the same time.
While I'm sure there is some fine print that will become clearer in the future, this brings a few major issues to my mind immediately. The first is the added financial burden placed on grad students to attend school. We aren't known for our high rolling lifestyles in the first place, and with very few exceptions I suspect this deal will force students to be on an even tighter budget. Most likely, a number of students will have to drop out of programs (in LIS or otherwise) and take lower paying and/or less fulfilling jobs out of necessity. I can't imagine how I would have cut back any further, especially in the second year or so of my MLS when I relied so heavily on public assistance! Additionally, some graduate students have families and all of us are in intensive courses of study (including the folks in this article) that prevent us from picking up extra hours at work to start paying our loans down. This could translate to higher payments after graduation, or a longer repayment period, both of which negatively impact our futures.
I understand that graduate students are very privileged because we are educated and have better job prospects (potentially) than our non degree-holding counterparts, but that amount of social capital does not necessarily translate to tangible wealth. I also know that there are any number of social programs that need funding just as much as education. I'd like to keep my political sentiments off HLS, but suffice it to say that I feel we could have made cuts/revenue increases in places that would impact people with more expendable income.
There is also a tad of backlash against students themselves, as in this Moody's report, where students are told to choose fields that are in demand and finish quickly. True, this helps limit the amount of debt a student has, but this mentality also has the effect of devaluing higher ed. If I were hoping to go to school solely to get a job, I would have chosen a trade school (which is another form of education that should be both validated and encouraged, but that's a different discussion for a different time.) I chose a liberal arts curriculum because I wanted to push myself to learn about subjects outside my major area and to gain a broader perspective that can be applied to my work. I also chose it because *I like learning!*
Learning new information, researching, and sharing knowledge are things that get me really excited and are, in my humble opinion, part of what makes our world delightful to be in. Rather than telling me that learning for its own sake is wrong, maybe the focus should be turned back to lenders and the terms of student loans, which are often severe (I just did my exit counseling for my MLS–It was incredibly disheartening.) I'm not saying we should send an angry mob out after lenders–after all, without them, we wouldn't be lent the money to finance our education in the first place. I just feel that education should be a priority in this country, and that the importance of learning, sharing, and discovery should be paramount to our experience as students. Instead of telling students to hurry up, why don't we find ways to fund subsidies and scholarships that will allow more people to attend school?
Fellow students: how do you think this will affect you? Do you have solutions or ideas to share? Additional resources?

The Asian vote
If I had a buck for every prediction Rob got wrong this campaign, I could buy us all drinks. Fortunately for Rob, I didn't keep track of them all (didn't he say Romney would win Vermont?), but I do remember he claimed California was in play and Nancy Pelosi was in trouble, because of all the Asian-Americans now trending Republican. That prediction came back to me when I saw this about the Asian vote in a Steve and Cokie Roberts column:
Seventy-three percent of these voters backed the president, up from 62 percent in 2008. John Kerry was the first Democrat to get a majority of this group, 56 percent in 2004, and as recently as 1992, Bill Clinton won only 31 percent of the Asian vote.
Two political scientists who have studied this trend, Taeku Lee and Karthick Ramakrishnan, summed up their findings recently in the Los Angeles Times: "Asian-Americans are no longer a swing vote or a crouching tiger in the electorate; their political stripes are now distinctly Democratic blue."
They list several reasons for this trend: 55 percent of Asian-Americans favor bigger government and better services, and they tend to favor universal health care by a wide margin. Many aren't Christians, and are turned off by the Christianity Rules rhetoric of the GOP. They tend to be more successful than the average American and more optimistic about the future, hence willing to re-elect a president, especially one who named Asian Americans to top administration jobs. Asian-Americans make up just 3 percent of the population, but they have now overtaken Hispanics as the fastest growing ethnic group in the electorate. As with Hispanics, immigration is an issue that hits close to home.
But beyond that, there's what one Indian-American writer called the "dog-whistle racism" of today's GOP: "If Obama is not an American and does not legitimately belong, then they're saying the same about me." Rob has blown that whistle pretty hard over the last few years, at least on our site. Do those who have worked so hard to fire up and amplify the bigoted wing of the Republican base understand yet what they have done?

Painting is like silent poem, said Simonides, poet from ancient Greece.Paintings are icons, doors to the Platonian world above the heavens. Paintings on my blog are just those icons, which lead a viewer into the magic world of harmony and beauty. Artists who present their achievements on my blog have a very different cultural and national background, they represent variety of artistic traditions and schools

HUNCHUN, China (AP) — The warning came from Kim Jong Un, the North Korean ruler who sees his isolated nation, just across the border from this busy Chinese trading town, as under siege. The attack, he said, must be stopped.
"We must extend the fight against the enemy's ideological and cultural infiltration," Kim said in an October speech at the headquarters of his immensely powerful internal security service. Kim, who became North Korea's supreme leader after the death of his father a year ago, called upon his vast security network to "ruthlessly crush those hostile elements."
Over the past year, Kim has intensified a border crackdown that has attempted to seal the once-porous 1,420-kilometer (880-mile) frontier with China, smugglers and analysts say, trying to hold back the onslaught.
The assault that he fears? It's being waged with cheap televisions rigged to receive foreign broadcasts, and with smuggled mobile phones that — if you can get a Chinese signal along the border — can call the outside world. Very often, it arrives in the form of wildly popular South Korean soap operas smuggled in on DVDs or computer thumb drives.
In North Korea, a country where international phone calls and Internet connections exist only for a tiny fraction of a tiny elite, and televisions and radios must be permanently preset to receive only state broadcasts, it's Korean-language TV heartache they crave.
"South Korean dramas, that's what everyone wants," grumbled a Seoul-based Christian missionary who runs a string of safe houses in this part of China, where his network helps people living underground after fleeing North Korea. One safe house is reserved for traders who sell everything from electronics to shoes inside North Korea — and who smuggle everything from Bibles to soap operas on the side. He spoke on condition of anonymity to protect the safety of his network.
There's "Autumn in My Heart," a 12-year-old tear-jerker replete with switched babies, forbidden love, and a comatose heroine. And "Stairway to Heaven," an epic of more forbidden love, more switched identities, blindness, insanity, a brain tumor and an evil stepmother. Everywhere in the soaps, there are tales of unrequited love, conniving rivals and handsome young men who just don't realize they'd find true love with the girl next door.
But if it looks absurd — a Stalinist nation vowing to crush an assault of bad lighting and overacting — the dilemma is deadly serious for Kim, who needs to find a way to modernize his country and its economy while holding onto absolute power.
Today, changing technologies, ambitious smugglers and well-funded critics of Pyongyang mean that everything from DVD melodramas to illegal Chinese cellphones to Korean-language radio news broadcasts funded by the U.S. government make their way into North Korea. Their presence exposes an ever-growing number of North Koreans to the outside world and threatens the underpinnings of the Kim regime.
Kim's crackdown has been largely aimed at the border with China, long the route for much of the outside information making its way into North Korea, as well as for refugees trying to get out.
Entire border security units have been replaced inside North Korea, fences have been strengthened and punishments ramped up for anyone caught trying to get through, according to smugglers, analysts and Chinese with family ties across the border. Meanwhile, special security units have been formed to seek out any contraband information or technology that Pyongyang sees as a threat.
"There has definitely been a push to roll back the tide of the flow of information," said Nat Kretchun, associate director of an international consulting group InterMedia, which released a report earlier this year about information flow into North Korea, based on surveys of hundreds of recent North Korean defectors. The study was commissioned by the U.S. State Department.
His conclusion: North Korea is increasingly anxious to keep information at bay, but has less ability to control it.
People are more willing to watch foreign movies and television programs, talk on illegal mobile phones and tell family and friends about what they are doing, he said.
"There is substantial demand" for things like South Korean movies and television programs, said Kretchun. "And there are intensely entrepreneurial smugglers who are more than willing to fulfill that demand."
For now, though, times are tough along the border, with smugglers saying North Korean guards have become far stricter about searching for contraband.
In a country where one family has held absolute control for more than 60 years, a communist enclave that survived the downfall of the Soviet Union and a devastating 1990s famine, the notion of allowing knowledge of the larger world is deeply feared.
"Even a hint of illusion or submission to the enemy is the shortest road to death and self-destruction," Kim said in his October speech, according to the state news agency KCNA.
The enemy works out of places like Hunchun, a brutally cold, money-hungry border town of car parts shops, cavernous indoor markets piled with shiny polyester clothing and off-brand electronics so cheap it seems almost impossible. Just a few miles from both North Korea and Russia, it's a town where nearly all signs are in three languages — Chinese, Korean and Russian — and where you can find a smuggler in just a few phone calls. Even if they rarely give a name, and are often identified only by their mobile phone numbers.
"Let me worry about how to do it," laughed one smuggler, asked how he gets his goods into North Korea. He is a friendly man, dressed business-casual in black corduroys and a black sweater.
Asked what he could get across the border, he made clear that business was thriving. Televisions, including ones able to pick up foreign stations? No problem. DVD players? Sure. Chinese movies? Yes.
But when asked about South Korean DVDs, the man shifted uncomfortably in his chair. His partner spoke up. No South Korean items — not DVDs, thumb drives, cosmetics or food.
"Nothing," the partner said firmly.
Soap operas, at first, might not seem like conduits of underground information. But they are threats nonetheless, offering windows into worlds that North Koreans both lack and desire.
North Korean viewers living in tiny two-room homes and struggling to feed their families can see houses with bedrooms just for children, and dinners with endless food. They see everyday people casually complaining about policemen and politicians. Scenes like that are provocative in a country where defectors say criticizing the ruling family can send entire families to sprawling prison camps, and where bicycles are considered luxury items for many.
Plenty of other smugglers are willing to carry what the man in Hunchun is not.
Millions of foreign TV and movie recordings are thought to be floating around North Korea, though they are most easily available in cities near the Chinese border. With the crackdown, analysts say smugglers appear to have shifted to new techniques, at least for videos: carrying recordings on tiny thumb drives, and then transferring the programs to DVDs inside North Korea.
Because once information starts to flow, information cannot be turned off like a spigot. At most it can be slowed.
In many ways, Kim is facing an authoritarian contradiction.
North Korea has been trying — albeit haltingly and slowly — to revitalize its barely functioning economy and crack open a door to the outside. Foreign tourists are now commonplace in Pyongyang, though on tightly controlled trips, and Kim has told his people that they should never go hungry again. Western movies occasionally are shown on state television. North Korean officials now actively court foreign investors.
As a result, North Korea has found itself flirting with modernity — more than a million of the 24 million North Koreans now have mobile phones, for instance, though they can only place and receive calls domestically — while trying desperately to keep a tight grip on the public.
"They want to modernize but the cost of this effort is information, which could easily destabilize the regime," said Victor Cha, former director for Asian affairs at the National Security Council in the George W. Bush administration, and now a professor at Georgetown University. "Without control of information, there is no regime."
Exactly when the latest crackdown began isn't clear. Many analysts date it to early 2011, as Pyongyang watched the wave of protests sweeping the Arab world. But it also appears to have intensified since the December 2011 death of North Korea's longtime leader, Kim Jong Il, and the rise of his son, Kim Jong Un. The younger Kim, almost completely unknown until late 2010, is believed to be about 29 years old.
In the clearest sign of the crackdown, the number of North Korean refugees reaching South Korea in 2012 has dropped by almost half, to about 1,400, compared to last year. While that statistic doesn't include every North Korean who fled across the border, many of whom spend years living underground in China, it is widely seen as a general indication of the increased frontier security.
But the North Korean market for outside knowledge, nearly all observers say, has become insatiable. It's been more than a decade since everyday North Koreans caught their first real glimpses of the outside world, when a breakdown in government control during the 1990s famine combined with the arrival of cheap Chinese electronics. The hunger for the larger world resembles, in many ways, the appetites in China in the years after Mao Zedong's 1976 death, when Beijing began opening the door for the world's mass media.
Today in North Korea, the idea of winning a fight against information seems an impossible goal.
If nothing else, said a onetime smuggler who eventually fled to South Korea, too many powerful North Koreans are making money in the business. He clearly remembers his early televised revelations, when DVDs showed him so much that his own country didn't have.
"I felt sad about the state of my country when I watched the DVDs," said the defector, who now lives in Seoul and spoke on condition he not be named, fearing retribution against family still living in North Korea. "I could see Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea, the United States ... these other places were so much better off."
Associated Press writers Sam Kim and Hyung-jin Kim contributed from Seoul.

Today's Music: Vintage Trouble – Blues Hand Me Down
In this spot, each week, I post a few links of some of what I've read this last week. Yesterday was my birthday. And some of the coolest people I know came out to

Spinners are the crazy partying cousins of slashers and they do exactly what you think they do.
When they see you, they will channel the spirit of the Tasmanian Tiger (or Crash Bandicoot depending on who you ask) and spin towards you. They can turn around during their spin, and rolling past them will likely just get you hit before you can roll again. This makes fighting defensively against them without a shield difficult; your best bet is to blow them up before they can attack or fight from a distance. If neither option is available to you, take advantage of their inability to leave the platform they're on.

HOUSTON—Oilfield services company Baker Hughes Inc. says the number of rigs actively exploring for oil and natural gas in the U.S. dropped by five this week to 1,752.
The Houston-based company said in its weekly report Friday that 1,341 rigs were actively exploring for oil and 407 for gas. Four were listed as miscellaneous. A year ago, Baker Hughes counted 1,973 working rigs.
Of the major oil- and gas-producing states, California gained five rigs, Alaska, Colorado and Louisiana each rose by two, and New Mexico and North Dakota saw an increase of one each. Oklahoma, meanwhile, lost seven rigs, Texas dropped six and Arkansas and Pennsylvania each decreased by two. West Virginia and Wyoming remained unchanged.
The rig count peaked at 4,530 in 1981 and bottomed at 488 in 1999.
